Origami August 25, 2017 Author August 25, 2017 how is the weather looking? They ready for rain?The weather is warm and humid. The hurricane is well to the west, so no real impact yet. The conference starts tomorrow. Exhibitors finished setting up their booths today to be ready for the doors to open at 10 AM. Tonight, we're at the 2017 VIP party at a nearby bar that features a bowling alley. Things have quieted down quite a bit as people mingle and enjoy the company of old friends. Tickets for the 2018 show in Las Vegas went on sale today at www.macna.org This time around MACNA traditionally features the lowest priced full conference ticket available.

WilRams August 25, 2017 August 25, 2017 Flew in last night but went to Gulfport, MS to visit family. We are driving over early morning for show!
YHSublime August 25, 2017 August 25, 2017 Wow. That bowling alley is looking swanky with the brick. In the words of Frank: "Is all you guys do eat? I've only seen pictures of food, not a single coral or fish!"

Origami August 25, 2017 Author August 25, 2017 Here's a quick walk thru of MACNA 2017's exhibitor floor. (Taken this morning before opening to the public.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0Z3Heu-mCASent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Origami August 26, 2017 Author August 26, 2017 Awesome! What's the story with the LiveAquaria salt? What would you like to know? I'd be happy to ask Kevin Kohen.... Sorry for the bumpy video. I was trying to make it through most of the exhibitor floor before the doors opened for MASNA members and rushed a bit. I didn't know that the pace would result in a video that'd give you vertigo! I'm just getting back from the Friday night reception. It was held at a place called "Mardi Gras World" on the Mississippi - just around the corner from the convention center. After a traditional Mardi Gras street parade (complete with motorcycle police escorts), we entered what appeared to be a warehouse with all these huge foam figurines (sort of like Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloons) all around us. As we walked in, we were handed a complimentary Hurricane mixed drink and proceeded back to an area that, while indoors and air conditioned, was made to look like we were outdoors under the stars and among trees in the bayou. Pretty cool. The food lines got a bit long, but it was still a great time. The hurricane off the coast of Texas is far enough west that we've not seen any effect here. No rain at all, but we are experiencing pretty high humidity. That could just be normal, though, for New Orleans. One thing I can say is that the food here has been great. Somebody told me that it's hard to get a bad meal here and I'm beginning to believe it. If you're a foodie, New Orleans should be on your list of places to visit. It's the end of Day 1. Looking forward to what's in store on Day 2.
madweazl August 26, 2017 August 26, 2017 I was curious as to what it mixes up as parameter wise. I imagine of it being given some award for best new product had me curious when there wasn't any readily available info on it.
dmatt56 August 26, 2017 August 26, 2017 Could you get the scoop on the macro algae reactor and gyre 2k pump at coralvue?
joro August 27, 2017 August 27, 2017 I was curious as to what it mixes up as parameter wise. I imagine of it being given some award for best new product had me curious when there wasn't any readily available info on it. It seems as if that info was released in some additional videos. Here's what I got from a variety of sources: Alk: ~9 dKH Ca: 440 - 440 ppm Mag: 1,350 - 1,400 ppm
